Precision machining refers to CNC machining systems that are equipped with a computer consisting of one or more microprocessors and storage units. Precision machining utilizes specialized software in conjunction with CAD/CAM software systems to instruct the tooling to execute the exact movements necessary to create the part.

Precision Machining
CNC is an acronym for computerized numerical control, and such machines are always controlled by a computer aided design and drafting (CAD/CADD) program and usually a computer aided manufacturing (CAM) program as well. When these basic software systems are combined with specialized software, precision machining services such as drilling, grinding and cutting are possible. CNC drilling, for instance, bores precise threads or holes into the surfaces of variable material composition and thickness. This technique is used for the creation and modification of furniture, shoe lasts, brush handles, boats, golf clubs and more. CNC grinding, on the other hand, uses a disc, belt or abrasive wheel to provide automated precision material removal and surface finish. CNC cutting has a wider range of tool options, although the finished product is none the less precise. A cutting machine may utilize laser, water jet, knife, flame or plasma methods depending upon the advantages and disadvantages they offer in specific applications.![]() |
